"I cannot make up my mind about him. "

I described him in an article as disarmingly charming. He is and that makes it easy to underestimate him just as the fool. He is more hardline than Cameron and Osborne.

I think that is where my ambivalence is rooted.

Fair play to him for creating his loveable bumbling fool persona it has certainly been effective because so many people buy in to it. He could lead this country, we could all be starving and some people would still think Boris was ok because he was funny on Have I Got News For You.

I don't need the documentary to tell me that but I am interested in any insight there is so that I am prepared when he seeks to become PM.

Actually I'll probably watch it at some point on iplayer. But I've had a shit day at work and the last thing I want to do tonight is to spend an hour shoutting at the TV before I go to bed!

He is somebody who is quite clever at manipulating people through the weapon of innocuous talk...

And begrudging respect is due for the way he turned the Olympics in to a huge PR exercise.

Not all of it is that innocuous but he is always performing.

Ian Hislop describing him as the only feel-good politician we have and our own Berlusconi, but funnier.

We're doomed.

I think Berlusconi just takes the biscuit. That man is a disgrace in every sense of teh word and I am really so at a loss why he is still "out there". Few people make me angry... he is one of those.

Well lets weigh him up;

Got in trouble for badmouthing my hometown

Hosted Have I Got News For You

Practices austerity by blowing hundreds of millions on 'Floating City' project in London

Years of being a laughing stock have made him a formiddable public speaker

I can't say I like him personally but I never give politicians a chance anymore

i (mr EH) think the guy is awesome, i cant take him seriously and think he adds a lighter note to the depression that is politics in the UK.

in no way, shape or form should he be allowed to run a country but as long as he keeps making his occasional tv appearances he'll put a smile on my face

anyone else notice his initials are BJ?

He doesn't remain just on television, though. BoJo wants to be in charge.

I used to wonder if he was clever or the general public easily duped. Sadly the answer appears to be "yes" to both.

When it gets to the point where great swathes of the UK population really believe that Boris would make a great Prime Minister....you have to wonder if drugs are being added to the drinking water supply.

to be in charge,he would be scrutinized far beyond his bumbling,lovable fool persona.

the more he speaks,the less plausible he will become.
